reading time: 2 min
On some days I crave nothing more than a cosy couch and a movie to watch and unwind my brain. On other days, however, the constant input of movies, youtube videos and tv shows exhausts me. My boyfriend and I get home from work (or uni), eat dinner, and then slump into the sofa to watch some Netflix. Who is familiar with this scenario?
It bothers me.
So here's a list of 25 electronic-free activities I actually made just for myself to remind my boyfriend and myself that there's more to life than my youtube subscriptions and the newest season of Game of Thrones (never mind, who am I kidding, of course I'm still watching GoT), but I thought why not share this with you.
Let's get our cute butts off the couch and enjoy a couple of hours without electronic devices each day!

02. Write a letter or postcard to somebody.
03. Go for a walk or a hike.
04. Meal-prep for the week.
